This book explores African philosophic sagacity, with its emphasis on wisdom, critical reflection, conflict resolution, and communal relevance. Sagacity seeks not only to outline and discuss traditional African cultural values, but also to apply those values in rational and practical ways in order to build a new society. Besides demonstrating the importance of sagacity in philosophy, the book outlines and discusses how it can be applied to pressing social and cultural issues across Africa. These include education, climate ethics, the institution of “widow” guardianship, and the naming system among the Luo ethnic group of Kenya. This is a robust and practical guide to African philosophic sagacity, as well as a passionate argument for its widespread adoption. It is a vital new contribution to an underappreciated field of thought in contemporary Africa.

This book provides an excellent orientation to, and a logical development of, the major trends and issues that have dominated discussions in African philosophy since the publication of Placide Tempels’ Bantu Philosophy in 1945. Views of some of the best-known African philosophers, such as Kwasi Wiredu, Paulin Hountondji, H. Odera Oruka, Peter Bodunrin, and D. A. Masolo are discussed in detail. The text takes into account, in the form of quotations or referencing, the views of several other philosophers who have had something to say about African philosophy. This book facilitates an excellent orientation on African philosophy at the undergraduate level. Those pursuing African philosophy at the graduate level will find the text refreshingly novel.
